What was said
"Maybe at that time the universe had just— there were cores of huge amounts of gas that collapsed together. Instead of forming a star, the core basically collapsed into a black hole immediately."
Thaller revealed that mysterious 'little red dots' observed by James Webb Space Telescope 400 million years after the Big Bang may represent the first generation of black hole seeds rather than galaxies. These million-solar-mass objects could explain how supermassive black holes formed so quickly in the early universe, upending previous stellar evolution models.
